  • There's no smoke without fire, the story has grown a lot of momentum but until an official word has been given it's just speculation but if it is true I'm not going to be surprised. I wasn't happy with SPECTRE and the way it ended I was quite hap…
  • He's going to have to go some to top DC's cameo in TFA, it's so clearly him not just the voice but the swagger and attitude, "and I'll drop my weapon" line just put a big smile on my face, at least he was in one great film last year.
  • It's really a good job Radiohead never attached themselves to that film, it really didn't deserve the best band of the last 25 years providing it's theme. Wailings on The Wall was much better suited to the disappointing film that was SPECTRE. …
  • Radiohead A Moon Shaped Pool There is no band like Radiohead they just leave everyone behind this is an extraordinary album, I'm biased because I love them but this so trancends the at times awkwardness of The King of Limbs and every track is ess…
  • I have to ask having just noticed this thread was Saunders taking the piss? I really do hope so, have you not read what he posted? I wonder if he is still married, hopefully the poor woman saw sense and cut the prat loose if he was being serious.…
  • @IncompetentHenchman SPECTRE was incredibly rated here in the UK to the point of some broad sheet critics giving it 5 star reviews, it might not have had this happen in the U.S I remember GE release and I assure you it was critically acclaimed…
  • Titanic (1997) Not seen Avatar but I'm sure if I'd wasted hours of my life on it, it would be here as well. James Cameron's over long SFX spectacular is an utter insult to this true life tradgedy. I know the simplistic love story between Jack &am…
  • Young Han is definitely a troubling prospect, not feeling it yet. Rogue One had me at the get go but the only possibilty after this is if they sign Ewan up for an Obi Wan film then they've got my money already.
  • Thanks everyone for your comments, I don't mean to beef up Mr White's time in the story. I just think the idea I have will give him more revelance, he'll be more of a presence as opposed to getting a bigger role. It will also go some way to addr…

  • I actually think the Mr White element is my favourite thing about SPECTRE. Although its also frustrating because with the existing material devised ironically by Purvis & Wade this all could have been so much better. The brother element co…
  • Put Moffat & Gattis in charge of a next era, surely they can do no more harm than P&W have.
  • Like your constantly sniping at SF, look mate please don't take the moral high ground. You are as bad as the rest, infact I'm sure that wooden spoon is due a renewal after all the sh*t stirring you do. Oh look at me happy go lucky emoticon add…
  • Apart from SP he just loves to rubbish the Craig era, I'd have more respect if he just said that he actually hates CR - SF and its only Craig decided to do a by the numbers Brozzer effort he jizzes his pants everytime he talks about said film. I …
  • My god BJB006 do you keep saying infinitum hoping we'll come round to your opinion? Even if you love SP so much to suggest Waltz was one of the best Bond villains is just beggars belief. That being said you like the Brosnan era and barring 006 t…
  • Undoubtedly one of Barry's best later cues. I might not rate VTAK but JB bought his A game with the score, he never slummed it with Bond and I'm sure he could have if he'd wanted to.
  • I wasn't the biggest fan of Newman's SF score, it had its moments, although was a little too generic for my tastes. That being said at least it was original work, the SP score just seem to consist of recycled cues from SF. I presume Newman was m…

  • Bond has never before or should ever be again connected with Blofeld's past. That's it in a nutshell for me, it stinks of the cobbled together job that P&W did with Logan's efforts. It doesn't show any thought went into the idea it was su…
  • I think the problem is probably casting Waltz. Here we have a twice Academy winning actor who had landed in mainstream cinema with one of the most iconic villains of all time. I liked his Dr Schultz character Django but it was Hans Landa that he …
  • I'm not the biggest fan of MWTGG but Lee is so iconic in that role that he elevates that film. Waltz was nowhere that level or will be remembered that memorably. Despite BJB006 dislike of Silva and I prefer Mads personally in Craig's era but B…
  • I think he loves it so much because it was the most Brosnan entry of the Craig era and for the record @BondJasonBond006 I didn't want SPECTRE to be just like Skyfall. Infact I wanted it to be very different, not need to rely on it or have to dig …
  • Considering Hans Landa and what Waltz could have delivered with a decent script he was a complete let down Also I hate the cuckoo line and his delivery and that lame ass " goodbye James Bond" The return of Blofeld was not exploited very well a…

  • X-Files even jumped on the revival bandwagon after TP was announced. At least Duchovney will be in one landmark shows within the next few years. He's set to reprise series favourite, cross dressing F.B.I agent Denise Bryson.
  • Twin Peaks has to be something special, unlike X-Files it didn't run for years it had a much shorter space of time but its impact paved the way for the likes of that show. TV changed when it arrived and every show that arrived owes it a debt. …
  • Keep telling yourself the whole thing isn't creepy, anyway the whole Stacey Sutton thing is just plain wrong.
